The 2009 NMC Symposium for the Future is will take place October 27-29, 2009, and is the fourteenth in the NMC’s Series of Virtual Symposia. During this symposium they will explore actual and potential applications of technology that could impact issues of global importance over the next five years and beyond.
Technologies and practices that are just beginning to show promise in an educational or social context may well be commonplace in that time frame. The applicability of technology — whether established or emerging — to the social, environmental, and educational challenges we face today is the central theme of the Symposium. Projects that test the applicability of new ideas, research into new solutions for global problems, and demonstrations of cutting-edge tools are all part of this exploration of the future.
